Anaru Furukawa's Story

(OOC: Okay... this turned out to be a novel... I won't normally do this, hell, this is the longest post I've ever made in my life. I normally do 2 or 3 paragraphs! For those who are too lazy to read all the way through, it's just summing up how she feels about the school, her getting there, the orientation, and dropping her things off at the front of her dorm. After everyone makes their entrance post, I'll start the orientation.)

Anaru was suddenly awaken by the loud screech of her alarm clock. She groaned in frustration as she slammed her fist on the top of the clock, eventually hitting the snooze button. Once again, she had a restless night. Mostly because she stayed up until 2:00 AM, forgetting about her first day of school, but details, details. After succeeding to turn off the alarm, she stood up and started her morning schedule.

After taking her morning shower, Anaru dressed up in a pale pink dress with a white, see-threw laced overcoat. After slipping on her shoes, grabbing a wrapped muffin, and swinging her backpack over her shoulders, she opened the door and started walking the pathway to a taxi stop.

As she was waited for the taxi to arrive to take her to her new school, she thought about all the new people she'd see. People like her. Although she felt joy and excitement by the thought, she was awfully anxious. For all she knew, these different people with abilities or types of human-like species could be practically insane! The thought of all the chaos made her feel like there was a knot in her stomach. Nevertheless, she's not hesitating to get out of that stupid apartment and out to see a new area, maybe even starting fresh.

Eventually, the taxi arrived. She crawled in and set her book bag down beside her as she took out a dull scrap of paper. She handed it to the 'taxi driver' and waited for his response. After a few moments, he handed the paper back to Anaru and nodded. She took the paper back, stuffed it into her backback's side pocket, and slouched into her chair as they drove off.
------------------------------------

Hours had passed, and Anaru's worries about the school are now in the back of her mind. Honestly, the only thing she is worried about now is how much money she's going to have to pay for the taxi driver. She glanced out the window and her eyes widened in astonishment. It looked like something out of a fairy tail; lakes with swans, vines wrapped around pillars, and cherry blossoms everywhere. Then again, it is called BlossomCrest.

After finding relief that she didn't have to pay the taxi driver for such a long and risky drive, she stepped out of the car. She scanned her surroundings as she stood at the front entrance of the school. The big clock planted above the school doors says 9:00 AM, meaning there is one hour until the orientation starts. It even said on the flier that they'd announce on the intercom when it's time for all the students to gather up in a certain area. So while she waited, she decided to roll her suitcase around to find her dorm.

After finding her dorm, she left her suitcase up against her dorm's door. Not exactly the brightest idea, but she didn't have a key. Students would receive their keys for their dorms as soon as the orientation ends. They say it's a way to make sure students don't skip the orientation. After dropping everything off, she wandered around the school.

Anaru slowly walked down the school's hallways, drawing her own personal map of the school. Of course, it was kind of difficult to make it accurate, but she was good at these type of things. Most of all, she was stunned by the site of the decor and interior surrounding the school. After finally mapping down practically every place in the school, she stepped outside to take a look at the bell tower. Her eyes widened, she only had a few minutes to get to the auditorium!

As she was walking around the school, studying her map, she was about to pass by a small group of students. Anaru wasn't much of a person to listen in to other people's conversations, but she overheard one of the students ask where the Auditorium may be. Out of her instinct, Anaru turned on her heal and held out her map towards the boy named Sora. "Here..." She said in a quiet voice. "I could always make a new one... however, if you're all having trouble, just take it. I practically memorized the school already..."

"What am I doing? Just leave, it was rude to listen in, just leave..." Anaru thought to herself. Nevertheless, Anaru just stood their and waited for anyone in the small group to take the map from her hand.

Basara tilted his head when a really tall guy came up asking for the auditorium, but he didn't have time to respond before a girl with white hair arrived and offered a map. His eyes lit up when he noticed the hair, after all he was used to being the only one with white hair aside from really old people of course.

"The auditorium is the big building behind me...that we're currently headed towards...and has the crowd of students flocking towards it." Normally he might have included some form of sarcasm in his statement but his staring at the girl's hair kept the idea from occurring. He found himself wondering whether she was born, or power induced that way like himself. After a couple seconds of staring he managed to get to her eye...gold? His own were red, giving the look of natural albinism and essentially giving him no room to talk in regards to eye color. Basara did notice a sinking sensation in his chest, disappointment at the realization maybe?

"For those of you who'd prefer to get caught in the crowd now, feel free to rush. Personally I hang back to avoid all the pushing, shoving and general inconveniences of the crowd." He knew that sentence definitely came out a bit weird after his prolonged silence, and even dropped his extended hand from before.

"After all, abilities aside this is a normal school with mostly normal teenagers." Basara plastered a wry grin on his face, "Short of someone deciding to show off or accelerate a fight with their ability...I'm probably the weirdest thing you'll around here. But of course that means normal teenage issues are plenty abundant." The statement was something he paraphrased from the previous year, though he didn't really understand the 'teenage issues' bit... he at least hoped it sounded reassuring.

huh he’s 16....damn but hey I guess I will see weirder in the time I’ll be spender here Yuji thought to himself when Tsukino was talking about his power. Yuji looked at Miiko "Well I am 17 but I'm only in the 10th grade do to a situation I had some time back". he said answering her question Yuji was about to ask her another question when he saw that most of the people nearby were flocking to the auditorium.

As Yuji was about to say they should head in a man with black hair walked up to the group and asked if they knew were the auditorium was before he could a wight haired girl walked up to him and gave the guy a hand drawn map. It looked to be only partly completed but looked like it was accurate, Yuji would be tempted to ask for one if it was not for the fact he had already memorized the map. After she handed it over she keep standing there. The little group that had started off with just Miiko had become much larger. Yuji who had not been around a lot of people for some time was uncomfortable with this many.

Yuji looked to face the group as the stream of people heading into the auditorium has trickled down to only a few people. It seemed like he was not alone in being hard to deal with people. But years of living on his own for years had made it so Yuji could take charge although he was not very authoritative. "Hey guys" she said with a light tone "We should probably head in to the auditorium the Origination is about to start." He said that and began to walk into the Auditorium.

Miiko looked at the crowd of people pushing past them, then towards the auditorium. They were right outside of it, it seems. "Thank you," she said to Basara, bowing respectfully as was the custom at the previous school she had attended. Miiko turned and began walking towards the Auditorium, following Yuji.

He seemed like the type who preferred to go off on his own rather than stick with a group so Miiko went the other way, finding that she was lost in a sea of people, too short to see over anyone's heads. Miiko suddenly wished she had stuck with the taller boy, or at least Basara; the two seemed so confident and sure of themselves that people moved out of the way for them, whereas Miiko was just a flamingo in a flock of pigeons. She looked around, hoping to see her other friend that had applied to this school as well. When she switched foster homes she wasn't able to keep in contact with him, but she had hoped to see him here today.

Miiko turned around in circles, spotting the place that everyone was heading to when someone stepped aside, chairs! Thank goodness, Miiko didn't want to stand the whole time. She managed to squeeze her way through a few students towards the seats people seemed to be ignoring. Every so often there was a squeal of excitement and two females would run in the general vicinity of each other to reminisce on how long it had been since they last seen each other and how something that happened before they left each other's presence was so funny.

Axel woke up in his dorm room after hearing a thump outside the door. He'd gotten in last night, and the faculty had stopped giving him a key two years ago after he'd pointed out that his power basically gave him a skeleton key anywhere by pushing the springs in locks as he desired. He quickly threw on a white V-neck and dark jeans, then formed a purple running blade blow his knee where his leg was missing. As he opened the door, he felt something land on his GOOD foot and winced as he looked down. Someone, he was guessing his roommate, had left their luggage outside.
Well, he thought, bringing it into the room and placing it on the unclaimed bed, might as well make sure it isn't stolen. Once all the luggage was brought in, he threw his uniform top on and left the room. He'd been to this whole assembly thing enough times to know it was the same ol' song and dance, but it was nice to get an idea of the new blood and see what was up. As he got to the auditorium, the crowd parted before him like Moses to the Red Sea, only for him to see his favorite chair in the back blocked off by a couple of the freshmen NPCs who had gotten there earlier. Rolling his eyes, he let a strand of his aura flow to his hand, then lash out to the wall behind them, gripping into place with gripping akin to a gecko's. He then retracted the aura and flew up into the air, placing his foot and false on the wall to stop himself before twisting and dropping to land right in his seat. He turned to shrug at the gawking new blood, and said, "What? I've been doing that sort of thing since I was a kid, it's like you jumping or running. Did you expect everyone to use their powers sparingly?" His attention dropped from his sentence when he saw a flash of pink hair. Pink hair meant another main character, and he only knew one girl with hair that pink... Or rather, pink at all.
"Sakura! Over here!" Axel waved, then pointed to the open seat next to him. An old face would be better to deal with than multiple new ones.

Basara heaved a sigh as the other students walked off, he'd felt popular. However, while most pushed forward he stayed back...once more he told himself it was due to the crowd. The white haired girl didn't seem to head off like the rest so he thought he'd make small talk.

"That was nice of you, offering the tall one a map and all...especially when you just transferred yourself." He began playing with his hair before continuing, "I'd also advise you hurry if you want a seat because unless you can fly to the roof for flight access, you'll be stuck standing." Despite his own words, Basara made no attempt to move himself. To a certain extent, isolating himself had become a habit so he didn't exactly feel bad about his own words. After all, despite this girl being even closer to his size than the green hair and even having the same hair color she was still separate from himself.

Anaru nodded as the boy asked if she was sure. "I wouldn't of offered it if I wasn't serious." She said in reply to the boy's unsure reactions. As she was waiting for the boy to take her map, she felt someone staring at her. She glanced over to her left to find a boy with white hair and red eyes looking her way. Anaru saw how he was studying her hair, and then she made eye contact with him for a few seconds as he made his way up to her eyes. She quickly darted her eyes in front of her and straightened her posture, finding this a little uncomfortable. After the boy finally took the map from her hands, she nodded. "You're quite welcome."

After watching the small group and the boy with her map leave, she frowned slightly. Honestly, she's only spoken a few sentences to them all, but she felt like she actually had a chance to bond with the group. Anaru watched them walk inside, and then slowly made her way towards the entrance, keeping her head down as she got lost in her thoughts.

Suddenly, she heard a voice beside her.
"That was nice of you, offering the tall one a map and all...especially when you just transferred yourself."
Anaru's thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a masculine voice, causing her eyes to dart to her left. She found herself staring at the same exact boy who was staring at her a few moments ago. He spoke while messing with his hair, as if he were becoming shy. She blinked and then turned to see if he could possibly be talking to someone else. You'd be surprised by how many times she had made that mistake. After seeing they're both practically at the end of the crowd, she turned back and cleared her throat. "... Thank you, I suppose... although, I wouldn't say it was just a random act of kindness... I truly just didn't find a need for it anymore."

After the boy stated that she should move quickly to find a seat or she'll end up standing, she smirked slightly in reply. She found it quite humorous, since it certainly wasn't a problem for her kind. Nevertheless, she nodded. "I can assure you that I'll be just fine." She said as she made her way towards the Auditorium, still standing by the boy's side.


------------------------------------------------





"Ah yes, another year full of new students... how delightful it is to see them running free, isn't it Sherman?" Mr. Sakagami said as he spoke to his pet bird. He was currently behind the curtains, feeding his Border Canary his daily meal. "I suppose I should get a move on, don't want to keep my children waiting, now do I?" He said as he fixed his tie to make himself appear more presentable. Mr. Sakagami honestly didn't expect his bird to reply to him or anything like that, it was only a matter of a Master and pet bond. He picked up his bird's cage and placed it in the stage's wings.

"Alright... let's make a good impression..." He mumbled to himself as the curtains opened, reveling only himself, a microphone, and it's stand. He smiled as he heard his students clap in his presence. Mr. Sakagami approached the microphone and tapped on it, making sure it was on. After doing so, he looked up at the audience full of children with special powers and took in a deep breath.

"Welcome everyone to BlossomCrest Private Academy!" He started off as he spread his arms out. "As some of you know already, I am the founder of this here school, and you should know that I made this school not only for you children to roam freely for your stay, but for you to know that's it's fine to be a 'freak' as the humans may call it. Look around! Some of you must be surprised to see so many students with amazing abilities, hm? All that I hope is that you'll take advantage of this chance to be around other special children like yourselves."

"However... now we need to cover all the boring things." He said with a sigh. Those who had been able to spend time with Mr. Sakagami know that he's just as full of a child's spirit as the students themselves. "The rules of this school is strict and there is no reason whatsoever you should break them. One of these rules would be no bullying. If you are seen picking on another student, then you shall be restricted by certain rights, or expelled from the school. Another one of our rules is no drugs, alcohol, or any of those harmful chemicals will step foot in my school. Indeed, some of you are at a legal age, but as long as you're here, there will be none of that in this school. Following that, is your time restrictions. Students may not roam the halls of the school past 12:00 AM. If you are caught, same consequences apply. However, there are acceptations if you're a werewolf. But there were only 3 werewolves who were registered in this school year, don't you dare try making up an excuse like that when you're not such a creature."

"Moving on to your dress code and class rules. As you may have noticed, you haven't received your uniforms yet. Never fear, they're all cleaned and folded on the top of your beds. At the end of orientation when you receive your room keys and get settled in your dorms, you will now have to wear your uniform at all school hours. I know they may not be the most stylish of outfits, however, it is required during first period, second, third, lunch, electives, and so on. The only time you may dress freely is either on special occasions or in your own dorms. As for your class' rules, your teachers will gladly lecture you on that." He said as he winked in the direction of the teacher's against the wall.

"And now my dear children, I'll have to leave you with that. Most of you should have the common sense to know what to do and not in a school, especially in one that's such a important part of your lives. Although, before I let you go, please know that I am free to talk to any of my students. I love making bonds with each and everyone one of you, seeing how talented and individual you all is one of my favorite advantages of this job. Just stop by my office or catch me in the hallways if you need anything." With that, he took took a bow and turned to leave the stage.

Suddenly, the intercom came on.

"All students are required to receive their dorm keys and get settled in. Your keys will be waiting for you at the table provided at the front of the Auditorium. Early tomorrow will be when you start your classes. Your schedule is located inside your uniform's pocket. In the mean time, get familiar with the school and have a great day!"

Anaru nodded as the boy asked if she was sure. "I wouldn't of offered it if I wasn't serious." She said in reply to the boy's unsure reactions. As she was waiting for the boy to take her map, she felt someone staring at her. She glanced over to her left to find a boy with white hair and red eyes looking her way.

Early tomorrow will be when you start your classes. Your schedule is located inside your uniform's pocket. In the mean time, get familiar with the school and have a great day!"

Basara couldn't help but smile at the girl's reaction to his statement, at the very least she was friendly. That and he appreciated having another individual nearby, made traversing the crowd easier...and something of a cue should he bump into someone. However he couldn't pay attention to the principal's long speech even if his life depended on it. Basara couldn't keep himself from fidgeting, he'd finally been awake long enough to actually feel awake and wanted to run around and have fun.When the speech was over, he leaped to his feet.

"I swear that geezer just likes to hear himself talk," he stretched while voicing his complaint. He also didn't feel like playing patient this time around. That said he turned to the girl he'd metaphorically clung to during entrance. "Guess you'll have girly stuff you wanna do when you get your dorms so I'll just part here. If you wanna play or something later just ask around for Basara... or the the white haired kid." He grimaced when he said the word but there was no point in denying his reputation. From there he talk off to retrieve his key, from there Basara dashed towards the room in question. After all, the sooner he put his stuff away the sooner he could burn off some excess energy.

Basara experienced little trouble getting to the dorms, the crowds preferred to clump up around now and chat before handling their dorms. This left his trip quick and easy, the harder part was properly picking up his stuff. Since the bags were meant for a large body, he staggered a bit before he managed to half-open half-fall through the door. The other occupant being one of the new kids from before.

"Hey it's new guy." The words came out of Basara's mouth before his brain could process further information. He heaved his stuff towards the unclaimed right end of the room before throwing himself on the remaining bed. "Guess I'm not bunking with a girl this year, that's cool...they hog the bathroom." Casual commentary flowed out of Basara's mouth without any real thought.

"I'm bored, wanna go check out other rooms?"Hyperactive energy brought Basara bouncing back to his feet again before his head tilted. "What's your name again? Sorry if you've already said it before...I think I missed it." He fully intended to get out and about regardless of the other guy's willingness to cooperate. But at the very least Basara felt he should at least know the guy's name before satisfying his energetic impulses.

As Anaru sat down in the seat next to Basara during the principle's speech, she couldn't help but notice he was fidgeting. Her attention went from listening to the principle's speech to watching Basara twitch in the corner of her eye. Maybe it was just a nervous reaction? Maybe his powers or speeches has something to do with being a shaky chihuahua? She frowned to herself as that thought crossed her mind. "Of course he's not a chihuahua, why would I even think that?!" She shook her head slowly and sighed quietly to herself.

The orientation seemed to last for years to Anaru as she slouched into her chair. She twirled a strand of her hair with her index finger as Mr. Sakagami went on and on with his speech. After watching Basara twitch for the 10th time, her eyes darted back in front of her as she heard the loud sound of clapping echo off the walls. Anaru immediately plugged her ears as the clapping went on for about 10 seconds, then replaced with the sound of chatter. She honestly felt like she was going to pass out.

As she stood up with a uncomfortable expression on her face, she heard Basara speak up once again. Anaru's expression softened as she heard his complaint about the principle's nonstop talking and nodded. "He seems nice enough... the last part was a little creepy, but he's not so bad." She said with a soft smile. Hearing him complain like that made her think he was acting like a 9 year old, meaning he hasn't fully matured to his age just yet, both physically and emotionally.

"Guess you'll have girly stuff you wanna do when you get your dorms so I'll just part here. If you wanna play or something later just ask around for Basara... or the the white haired kid."

Anaru's small smirk had only grew as she listened to Basara. At this moment of time, she was positive that this kid hasn't matured to his age. She casually flipped her hair back and chuckled. "Oh yes, because that's what I do in my free time. Careful boy, it might rub off on you." She said in a teasing tone. Anaru thought for a moment or two about Basara's offer to play with him later. She then shrugged."Sure... let's play sometime. I'd like that." With that, she waved goodbye to the small boy and made her way towards the front to receive her key. "Room 208... got it." Anaru thought to herself as she walked out the exit. As she was making her way towards the dorms, she still had that small smile on her face. She was glad she was able to make a friend, despite the fact they've only spoken 10 sentences towards each other. Nevertheless, her smile didn't fade and she even had a little hop in her walk as she made her way towards the dorms.

As she returned to the front door of her dorm, she noticed that her luggage was gone. Her expression slowly faded at the realization as she scanned the hallways for her suitcase. Nothing. "W...What?" Anaru pulled the key out of her pocket and quickly unlocked her dorm's door, twisting the doorknob and opening the door with more force than needed. She blinked as she scanned her dorm. It seemed like someone had already been here for a while. As she scanned her surroundings, she noticed that her suitcase was placed on the other bed. Anaru sighed in relief and rushed over to her suitcase, unzipping it and looking through her bag to make sure nothing was stolen.

Axel had already gotten back to the room and was on his bed reading and listening to music at the same time when his new roommate burst in and looked around. He pointed towards her suitcases and whether she saw him or not, she ran over to it. Once she started digging through it, he took off his headphones to speak, placing his book down as he did so.
"Don't worry, I didn't dig through it or anything, I just didn't want it getting taken by someone else." he said as he rolled up to a sitting position, then stood up, stumbling a bit before forming a leg and extending a hand to shake. "Name's Axel, Axel Lerate. I'm a third year here. And, I might mention, probably the least likely to steal anything from you." As he awaited her response, he looked her over once. She seemed to be a bit of a loli, unsurprisingly, considering her white hair and golden eyes denoted innocence. She was going to be a pretty interesting roommate, though, he knew that for sure.

As Anaru was rummaging through her suitcase, she heard a male voice behind her. It obviously wasn't Basara, or anyone she knew for that matter, causing her to tense up. She closed her suitcase and looked over her shoulder to identify the voice. She was now staring blankly at what seemed like a junior with slightly shaggy dark hair. Yep, no one she's ever seen before. As he stood up to introduce himself, Anaru turned all the way around and took a step back. She was almost intimidated by him, then again, she's intimidated by anything taller than herself.

"My roommate's a male... my roommate's a male...!!" She thought to herself as she gulped. After Axel had introduced himself, Anaru reached out her hand and shook Axel's. ... I'm Anaru Furukawa... 10th grade..." Her voice came out quiet and frail as she looked up at Axel.

Axel smiled warmly, and responded, "Pleasure to meet you, Anaru."Axel paused for a few moments, then said matter-of-factly, "You're confused as to why a guy is your roommate, you were taken off-guard by my size, and something happened to you personally from an early age that left you shy about change, parental divorce, or your powers making you unlike everyone else, perhaps? Sorry if that last one was too personal, but I've never been one for learning the hard way about someone's past. As for the roommate deal, I assume the faculty put it into place to help break down barriers between genders, it's been like this forever." He leaned back and stretched a bit, his T-shirt riding up just enough to show a bit of skin and the waistband of his briefs. "Anyways, if you have any questions about anything, feel free to ask. Just so you're not left in the dark, my power is psychic manipulation via spiritual output. Or aura manipulation, if you prefer the non-sciencey version. Yours?"

Anaru frowned slightly and released Axel's hand as he went on about how she's taken off guard because of his size, why she's afraid of change, and some parts of her past. "You say it like it's no big deal... then again, I suppose it isn't something to fuss over so much... She mumbled in a lost tone as she sat down on her bed, staring down at her shoes. She cleared her throat before continuing. "Well, I don't really have a choice but to believe you when you say it's been like this forever, I suppose."

Anaru only nodded as he explained his powers. She didn't exactly know what Psychic Manipulation was, but not wanting to bother Axel with a explanation, she assumed it was things like reading people's minds, their pasts, etc, only because that's what he just did now. Anaru looked up at Axel as he asked what her powers were. "I can sprout angelic wings, fly, and heal anything with the touch of my hand. Plants, people, animals... all of that." She said with a slightly proud tone.

Axel smiled, lifting his pants leg to show his prosthetic which replaced everything below the knee, which was currently pulsing purple. "Out of everyone here, I think I'm the one with the most to fuss with. And I might have confused you on my power. I make my aura TANGIBLE. I only make people think I'm a mindreader with how accurate I can be on my observations. And before you try, no, my leg won't heal back. Last person to try gave themselves an aneurysm. Person before that just gave up." He laughed a bit, then rolled back on to his bed. "Ask me anything, I'll answer best as I can. The leg is off limits, though."

Anaru looked down at Axel's leg, but she had no sense of emotion whatsoever. She didn't want to upset Axel from making rude expressions or anything like that. That, or it's just because her personality is sort of emotionless anyways. "I suppose you're right... then again, I rather not argue about who should be worried about more. It's obvious that both of us had our gruesome moments here and there, but some people insist of winning the title of 'the worst past'. However, I honestly don't care, it's not like I'd change the way I think of you." With that, she stood up and popped her suitcase. With a slight 'Click!', Anaru started to unpack her clothing and setting down personal things such as picture frames on her side table.

As she continued to do so, Axel mentioned of she had any questions, just ask him. Anaru only nodded in reply, and got back to work.

Kazuki, it was a nice name, or at least Miiko thought so. "Yeah," Miiko nodded her head in response to his question, "I'm a shape shifter." Whenever Miiko shifted her clothes came off, it didn't matter if it was into an animal or human. She also had a super sonic scream and was thankful that she hadn't accidentally demonstrated that one.

Miiko hated hurting people with her powers so she was afraid to use them, the turning into a kitten had happened by accident because Yuji had scared and embarrassed her when he had blown a gust of wind. Miiko noticed Kazuki's blush and realized he must have seen her then as well.

She suddenly felt like the only gazelle in a safari full of cheetahs. Most guys were not bad, Miiko knew that, but as a child who had been bounced around from foster to foster, she had had her fair share of bad experiences with the opposite gender.

Axel smiled and placed a hand on the kid's head as they arrived, tousling Yuji's hair.
"Nice death glare, kid. I give it a solid 4, maybe 5 outta 10. Try getting rid of the fact you're three years my junior and haven't seen real combat, and maybe I'll actually be intimidated." He said, keeping his voice low while Kazuki was introducing himself to Miiko so the two wouldn't really hear Axel telling him so, then he extended a hand to Miiko to shake. "The name's Axel. Axel Lerate, it's a pleasure to meet you. I should be a senior, but I had to leave for a year due to family issues, so if you have any questions, feel free to ask..." Axel was amazed he wasn't freaking out. "And you're a shapeshifter, you said? Are there any limits you've found so far? There was one guy two years back who could even change his gender, but couldn't shapeshift into anything bigger than himself."
